Cake ideas for the family - basic ingredients

[CornishTeaTime]

On rations next few days but with basic ingredients what cakes can I make. Im going to do a banana loaf or muffins as have 2 lurking in the bowl

What else can I make that we can grab and enjoy thats simple.

I have

SR Flour
Butter
Eggs
Caster Sugar
Vanilla essense
Icing sugar
2 x bananas
Choc chips milk and white
Cinamon
Marmalde
Pecan nuts

Anyone 😔

Choc chip cookies, brownies, fairy cakes?

Cinnamon pecan muffins.

Cinnamon Muffins with Pecans - It Is a Keeper

scones - fruit or cheese

Disclaimer- I’ve not made this but it’s a BBC good food recipe so should work! I’m sure it would be ok with caster instead of brown sugar.

And Delia's Banana and choc chip slice.

Banana and Chocolate Chip Slice recipe | Delia Smith (deliaonline.com)

Steamed pudding with the marmalade.

Bananas in foil with vanilla, choc chips, icing sugar pecans and baked.

Any older cookbook (WI or Good Housekeeping type) has 150 different methods of dealing with flour, sugar, vanilla, butter, milk and egg.

My go to sponge recipe from Jane Asher

125g SR Flour
125g Caster Sugar
125g Butter/Margarine
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder (omit for cupcakes)
For chocolate cakes replace 25g of flour with 25g of cocoa

All ingredients together and mix.

This makes a Victoria sponge or cupcakes or traybake, double etc for bigger/more.

Absolutely foolproof
